Okay everyone, I know that there are a ton of college students on this forum trying to pay their way through college (well not really).
What college do you go to? When is your intended graduation date? )

I'll be a freshman in college next year, probably at IU-Bloomington.
My parents set enough money aside throughout the years to pay for my college, so I have that taken care of.
I plan on becoming a CPA, so that puts my graduation date in 2012.

Yeah, 2012 and I started in 2003... I'm working full time and schooling only part time, so best case senario it takes me 8 years to obtain a 4 year degree, moving at exactly half pace, but odds are it might take me another semester extra.

All of the Purdue campuses need to raise their admission standards. I see the same thing at the main campus. It really kills the value of the school when you let some of these kids in (most of them instate).
